This estimate is of course made TO
boost the failing fortunes OF Senator
Harris and is so far from correct that
some of the gclaims made are simply
ridiculous. The Commercial advises
the friends of Gen. Buckner TO go to
figuring on the race and we propose
to take its own figures and demon
strate that Gen. Buckner will be nom
mated. To begin with, the counties
of Cumberland, Davies, Hancock
and Boyle-the latter upon the au-
thority of the Commercials own cor
respondent in dispatch since the
estimate was made-must be taken
from Harris and given to Buck
ner, which leaves ZIG for Harris
and increases Buckner's estimate to
176. The counties of Allen, Logan,
Todd and Butler, claimed for Hines,
are certain to go for Buckner, which
reduces Hines vote to 30 and increases
Buckner's to 203. Now from the
doubtful column we will take only
such counties as are surely and GER
tainly for Buckner, viz: Grayson,
Ohio, Hopkins, Clinton and Edmon-
son with 26 votes. These give him
229 and leave 6S in the doubtful col
umn. There are % counties not in
cluded in the Commercials lists,
which cast ll2 votesand most of these
are Buckner counties, which fact
shows very plainly where the Com
mercial was seeking information and
in whose interest the information was
sought and the calculation made. OIL
these % counties, the following will
vote for Buckner:

week were put up by Mrs Geo. w.
Shaw, of Christian county. The farm
ers will see by these sales thatit pays
to make fine tobacco. The ruling
prices for tobacco on our market for
the past four weeks have been higher
than in any other markctin the West.
We think planters aud dealers would
do well to bear this in mind, when
they get their tobacco ready for ship

their full values. Thanking our many

It Is matter Of history that Queen Eliza
beth, or "Good Queen Bess," as English
writer's often term her, was the first English
queen who wore gloves. These articles, pre-
vious to her reign, were unknown in lady's
toilet, although the form of glove called
gauntlet had been adopted by men. The
gloves worn by Queen Elizabeth were unlike
the ones in common use to-day, being exceed
ingly elegant and costly affairs. Some were
of kid, reaching nearly or quite TO the elbow
and trimmed with gold braid and fringe.
Others were lined with velvet and fastened
with gold buttons and jeweled buckles
Others again were Of silk, gayly embroidered
on the backs and fastened at the wrist with
gem set casps For many years after their
introduction gloves were scarce and eXpen-
sive, but Queen Bess soon bad pair for
every dress, fos she was exceedingly vain and
delighted to be arrayed in rich and costly ap-
pareL
This excessive love of display and finery
gained for Queen Elizabeth much ridicule
from her enemies, and it is written down in
history that she was one of the vanest
women that ever lived. This vanity and love
OF self brought much unhappneas to the
queen, just as it does to every human being,
whether great or small, young or old.
